All this block:
if (events->smi.smm_inside_nmi)
vcpu->arch.hflags |= HF_SMM_INSIDE_NMI_MASK;
else
vcpu->arch.hflags &= ~HF_SMM_INSIDE_NMI_MASK;
if (lapic_in_kernel(vcpu)) {
if (events->smi.latched_init)
set_bit(KVM_APIC_INIT, &vcpu->arch.apic->pending_events);
else
clear_bit(KVM_APIC_INIT, &vcpu->arch.apic->pending_events);
}
only applies if you're in SMM, so perhaps you can move it under
if (events->smi.smm)
?
